[speedtouch] argh, error messages!
Hi! Yet another question about the speed bundle install. When I make the speed bundle, after I have put user name / password etc in the correct scripts, and have placed the firmware in the correct folder, I get the following error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] speedbundle-1.0]# make ./configure The source for your running kernel is in /lib/modules/2.6.3-4mdk/build/ configure: error: cannot find sources (AUTHORS) in . or .. make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] speedbundle-1.0]# As the web site tells me to Please write to the mailing list http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/links/index.html if it does not work perfectly. There should be no need to consult this HOWTO. That's exactly what I am doing. If anyone can tell me what these sources are, and go where they go (preferably with where I should get them from). I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance Alex Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[speedtouch] Anyone want to take over the Freshmeat entry?
Hi, I haven't been playing with the speedtouch stuff for over a year now (as I no longer have ADSL at home). However I'm currently the freshmeat admin for the project (hence the entry is a little out of date). Would anyone like to take over? Give us your freshmeat login and I can make you an admin for the project. p.s. Read the comments - someone has done a Tk frontend for setting the thing up which you may or may not be aware of. cc me as I'm not subscribed. -- Alex http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

When downloading it (sometimes) begins at 50k/sec and then it immediately falls back at about 15k/sec where it stays that way during the rest of the transfer, while under windblows I get a constant throughput of 50k/sec, as it should. I noticed hundreds of CRC-errors in AAL5-frames under Linux vs 0 under windows. I doubt its the driver itself per-se. Do you have any processor load figures? Does the driver take a lot of time? I suspect a potential buggy USB chipset that windows copes with better. What chipset have you got? I tried everything I can think of: - changing the speedtouch drivers (1.1, CVS-19112002, current CVS) - changing the firmware (mgmt.o from Alcatel, alcaudsl.sys from CD) - running pppoa3 instead of pppoa2 - upgrading the kernel from 2.4.18 - 2.4.20 - using async communication (-a, no HDLC) vs. sync (HDLC) - and yes, I even tried commenting out the CRC-check in atm.c, however, it appears the frames were really corrupt ;-( I'm beginning to get a bit desperate now. I would like to know how my frames get corrupted, but I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions are very appreciated!

Its probably worth reading up the Linux Advanced Routing howto for ideas on how this could be done. Surely this only works for outgoing traffic anyway. If you are running a busy webserver then you could accept requests on one ip but spoof the replies on the other line (assuming that the ISP doesn't filter them) but there is no way AFAICT to get this to work for downloads. Downloading a single iso from an FTP site is going to only be able to use one line. Yes, but a multi-threaded download could take advantage of the two links, then again its all a bit too much effort IMNSHO. You certainly wouldn't get the same performance as a dedicated 1M ADSL line.

On Thu, 2002-06-27 at 12:32, Maxwell wrote: Hi Peter. Greetings from Toronto, Cananda. After reading most of the posts in ( http://www.mail-archive.com/speedtouch@ml.free.fr/msg02986.html ) the SpeedTouch mail archive, I now understand why Linux is not gaining much headway on the desktop. Have you figured out a reliable solution yet? Depends how you define reliable. Most people have no problems with getting the user-mode drivers running. We have had uptimes of 30days reported which compared to my Alcatel+Windows experience is an order of magnitude different. You generally only see problems (and the occasional development disscussion) on this list. Hardware companies like Alcatel and the Linux kernel people must collaborate so that there is one best way to add support for their products and therefore make Linux look more attractive to Windoze users. Reading all these posts has been nothing less than neauseating as their is no unified solution. A few points worth mentioning: 1. This list isn't for the kernel solution 2. This driver is a result of reverse engineering without access to the Speedtouch specs - we are not affiliated to Alcatel in any way. 3. *I* consider diversity a good thing in software. We leave it up to the distribution makers to decide which solution best fits their (and their customers) needs. I also notice that a huge issue is never discussed about PPPoE and USB DSL modems. This issue is about using PPPoE to connect to the net without requiring an Ethernet card. Surely Linux is able to allow me to access the net without having to install a NIC. After all, Windoze-XP does it quite well with my Alcatel Speed Touch USB DSL modem. Everywhere I look for info on this relating to Linux, it says that I need a NIC. I say ridiculous! The issue of PPPoE has been discussed and its quite feasable to do. The main reason that it hasn't been done is because most of the developers are European where PPPoA is the preferred encapsulation of the ISP's so we just can't test PPPoE code. There are two solutions to this problem, either a developer from the other side of the pond writes the code or someone gives the european developers shell access to a box with a working PPPoE setup to test against. I'm sure a number of us would volenteer to write the code if someone asked nicely :-) Look at it this way! Bell Canada's Sympatico High Speed DSL service costs $28 US for unlimited access, and the majority of their customers all choose the USB non-Ethernet card option. I'd say they have, at least 2 or 3 million subscribers (and growing). As you can see, that's a lot of potential Linux users who are stuck on Windoze and will NOT switch over if they can't even access the net. Do you know how frustraing it is to be captivated by KDE3 and/or Enlightenment, but can't even get on the net? I hate this dual booting crap! I want to use Linux full time. Well a couple of points: 1. With open source your not impotent - if a problem bugs you enough your quite welcome to fix it yourself. 2. We are all volenteers, demanding something *must* be done while not helping doesn't tend to win over people to your cause. 3. *I* don't care if people want stick with Windows. If it works for them fine. If they want Linux support but can't/won't contribute themselves they should lobby their ISP. I say its high time this silly scenario comes to a close. Thanks for listening and I hope you also find a reliable solution. The correct phrase to use in this situation is:I hope together we can find a solution. Whilst we are unpaid volenteers you are not a customer, just a benificary of our aulturism. PS-- I would gladly contribute in writing a well-thought out step-by-step HowTo if a RELIABLE solution can be obtained. Thats great.

General === 0.0 I'm confused, what version of the speedtouch driver is their? There are two USB Speedtouch drivers available for Linux. For the sake of argument we shall call the user-mode and kernel-mode. This package and documentation refers to the user-mode version which is not related to the kernel-mode drivers in any way (except we use the managment code to provide the microcode for the modem). Do not mix and match instructions/faqs/howto's between the two projects as you will get very confused (and probably confuse everyone else). If your interested in the kernel-mode version then please see: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3581 and http://www.linuxdude.co.uk/docs/Alcatel-Speedtouch-USB-mini-HOWTO/speedtouchusb.html Briefly the kernel-mode driver is built into the linux kernel as an ATM device and uses a patched version of pppd to terminate the ATM and give you IP. This means the data spends more time in kernel-mode (which should improve latency). The user-mode driver terminates the USB device in user-space and demangles the ATM into normal ppp packets for a normal pppd. Although we recommend some kernel options you generally don't need to patch anything. We of course recommend the user-mode as being easier to set-up but then again we are biased :-) Configuration Questions === 1.1 Which linux kernel version was used to develop this software: linux kernel version 2.4.3 = 1.2 What configurations have been tested? (and what kernel version is known to work?) See the file results.txt for some systems that have been tested. 2.2.x series : 2.2.17, 2.2.17-21mdk, 2.2.19-5mdk, 2.2.20, 2.2.19 shipped with the debian potato. 2.4.x series : 2.4.0, 2.4.2-2.4.18 2.5 development series are not supported (because the usb stack changes too much, between each kernel release). If you find a problem with modem_run on a development kernel please re-test with the latest 2.4 stock kernel before asking the list or report the bug to the linux-usb kernel hackers. Kernel older than 2.2.17 does not work Kernel 2.4.1 freezes. 1.3. Does it need kernel patches or pppd patches to work? This solution uses a standard kernel ppp and all the ATM handling is done outside of the kernel. There is another driver that uses a patched kernel (for ATM support) and patched pppd (for the pppoa bit). They are not required for this solution they may even be incompatible with this driver. 1.4 What about the HDLC BUG? Well ok you may need a kernel patch for that, see HDLC_BUG for more details. (Addendum : the patch is included in vanilla kernels since 2.4.18-pre1) 1.5 I can see a lot of line like usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed dev 2 ep 0x81 len 16 ret -110, what's that? There are normal error messages output by your linux kernel. Don't worry too much about them. It may be fixed in a future release. 1.6 I can see a lot of line like: usbdevfs: async_completed: status -2 errcount 0 actlen 0 pipe 0xc0008280 This is entirely normal message

[speedtouch] [PATCH] Test for CRC/Dropouts. Call for help
Hi all, I'm looking for people who have download problems where they can't download certain files or from certain sites. I've never been able to reproduce the problem and it does seem apparent that different people running the same code can get different results. My theory/hunch/wild guess is based on the observation that some people have noted CRC errors whilst these downloads are happening. We really shouldn't see CRC errors that often (especially at the rates most people are running at) so if your having problems could you try applying this patch: alex@trent speedtouch]$ cvs diff -u src/atm.c Index: src/atm.c === RCS file: /cvsroot/speedtouch/speedtouch/src/atm.c,v retrieving revision 1.6 diff -u -r1.6 atm.c --- src/atm.c 21 Mar 2002 23:35:43 - 1.6 +++ src/atm.c 23 May 2002 18:04:46 - @@ -390,9 +390,10 @@ frame_crc= data[length-4]24|data[length-3]16|data[length-2]8|data[length-1]; /* If not equal the aal5 frame is corrupted */ - if(computed_crc != frame_crc) + /* if(computed_crc != frame_crc) return(-1); - + */ + /* Find the real len */ real_length = (((int)frame[length - 6])8)|((int)frame[length - 5]); Which disables the CRC check. Recompile, re-install pppoa3 and shutdown and re-connect to your ISP. I'm interested in feedback so please indicate: 1. Version of driver (I assume everyone is on 1.1rc2 by now :-) 2. md5sum of your microcode file 3. URL of file you where having a problem with 4. How far along the download would the file get (to the byte please) 5. Did the patch make a difference? 6. If so the md5sum of the downloaded file (so I can compare and check) For bonus point anyone willing to grab a tcpdump or ethereal dump would be great (but don't post it to the list, I'll contact you). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe

Mihamina Rakotomandimby said: Hi ... i totally agree with you about the way you check the connection status . I don't want to chip in with two many me too posts but... You probably want to cycle the hosts you ping incase they go down (it can happen even to yahoo). I have a preliminary monitor script that I was using that takes the drastic measure of resetting the box if it fails. You can see it at: http://www.bennee.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/perl/monitor.pl?rev=1.2content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup The reason I reset the box is because it is a gateway machine (i.e. does nothing but ADSL) and I know a reset will always bring everything up. I've also added a delayed shutdown to my ip.down scripts so if pppd doesn't renegotiate properly and execute the ip.up script (which cancels any running shutdowns) my box fails safe.

[speedtouch] Re: hdlc patch ?
Hi all, maybe this is off topic but I'm little bit confused on this n_hdlc patch ... It's said in ther FAQ and and in a large amount of posted answers in this ng, that the kernel should be a 2.4.18 or above. If not it is recommanded to patch it But I have a basic RH install with a 2.4.7-10 kernel wich works fine on the 1.0 version of the driver ... Would that mean that the 2.4.7-10 is an exception in this patch rule, and how could that be ? Could it be possible that RH has already patched it's kernel ( I can see a n_hdlc module with lsmod ) ? bb Mmm, possibly. A lot of distributions are ahead of the patch game compared to the stock kernels. I never patched my Mandrake kernel so it could be the case with RH too. The best way to tell for RH is to look at the kernel RPM .spec file and see what patches are applied. The nice thing about RPM's is they start from the baseline code (e.g. Marcello's tar-ball) and apply patches to it when they build. This way its easy to see what has been applied beyond the stock builds.

But I have a lot of difficulty with it. So I want to ask others how well I should expect the speedtouch usb to function under Linux. You should expect pretty good reliablilty although a lot of factors depend on your ISP. The connection dies on high speed transfers. I can surf and chat, but downloads of large files from fast servers can cause my connection to die. Is this something others experience as well? Have you got the logs for these deaths. Some people have reported the certain files can kill the connection but It always proved difficult to tie it down. Is it any long file or just dertain ones? There was a small bug in the aal5 code in pppoa3 but I'm not sure how often it triggered. You could always try the latest CVS. We might even get around to releasing 1.1 soon. The pppoa connection dies after a few days and does not restart itself. On rare occasions it is necessary to unplug the modem reload the firmware, etc. More commonly it is necessary to killall pppd ; pppd call adsl to restablish the pppoa session. pppoa will never restart itself. pppd has to retry (thats part of your peer config file). What has likly happened is your ISP drops your connection and the pppd config file then exits. I am quite close to my ISP's central office and DSLAMs: under 2000 ft. I do not have an external splitter but use one microfilter inside my house. What can people tell me about the reliability i am not experiencing -should I focus on the physical condition of my telephone wires, or is this a familiar problem with the pppoa software and Alcatel microcode. Its always a possibility. You can look for CRC errors on the line by looking at pppoa3's syslog entries (you may need additionaly verbosity on the pppoa3 command line) Another thing, I do not have any experience with the speedtouch usb modem under Windows to compare to my Linux experience, so that is a detail that I cannot provide. but i'll supply any other information needed to diagnose the problem thanks ~/j. Generally you should expect better than Windows anyway (my windows system never stayed up for more the 4 days).

Martin Devera said: Hi, I'm happy that HTB gained so much popularity ;) Only one hint for you - you can completely avoid all these tc filter add fw ... You can use only one tc filter add dev ppp0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 1 handle 1 fw and set classid directly in iptables like: iptables -t mangle -A to-dsl -p tcp --dport 80 -j MARK --set-mark 0x10010 iptables -t mangle -A to-dsl -p tcp --sport 24 -j MARK --set-mark 0x10020 and so on .. devik Thanks for that it should make my script a bit less cumbersome. I have also realised that at the moment the bandwidth is being shared out in proportion to allocated bandwidths which is not quite what I was after. Having re-read your manual pages I've now added prio statements to each htb class so that if I'm downloading from inside I get all the bandwidth I need at the expense of the uploads, rather tha a 2:1 split. I got it the second time, the first time I wasn't sure if prio 0 was the highest or lowest priority. The other thing that is current sub-optimal is the division of long uploads vs short uploads. I've attempted to ensure that normal webpages are downloaded as fast as possible with the burst parameter but if someone is downloading a large file from my website all other web users suffer. I've got to do some more reading but my current plan involves the iptable connection tracking. I'm not sure if iptables does this already but if I can match and tag a packet based on the time of the connection I can still allow new connections to get priority of long lived downloads. This may involve writting a new kernel module as a netfilter extension but it would be the iceing on the cake to my setup :-) Alex www.bennee.com/~alex/ Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe

Edouard Gomez said: Alex Bennee ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: If you have a pointer to any usb hotplug resources we may be able to make the script behave in both modes. Yeah, basically the SysV script could behave like a hotplug script. We have just to configure the speedtouch.conf file correctly (without usb loading, without pppd ?). The problem is the hotplug is somewhat broken from some kernel versions to another. I tried it with a 2.4.16 ircc and it failed (kernel was never calling the /sbin/hotplug script). Btw this feature should be proposed for next release. You mean 1.2 or 1.1? Alex : i propose a 1.1 version because of the many changes we made to the cvs and for the upcoming sync/async pppoa patch. I think, if you agree, we should release a new version at the beginning of May. It's not a .plan date but i think it's really time to do a new release (too much change in CVS) and this date gives us more than 3 weeks to close/debug all new features. Yes I agree. Despite the fact the RPM doesn't currently automagically configure your system its certainly installable (unless anyone want to say differently). The src rpm should be buildable by anyone with and rpm based system. The only thing we are missing is the debs. Do you know what the current state of benoits doctor scripts are or have they become orphaned because benoits no longer got a speedtouch?

[speedtouch] Problems with Linux kernel 2.4.18
Hi, I've been using the speedtouch driver successfully for several weeks using linux kernel 2.4.17, but I have tried several 2.4.18 kernels and they all have the same problem - the connection is very unstable. The connection works, but it seems like many frames are being dropped. If I ping the other end of the link I typically get 50% packet loss. Also I have lcp-echo-failure 2 set in the peers file, so lcp typically takes the link down an up again reasonably often. If I go back to my 2.4.17 kernel, everything works OK again. For various reasons the kernel configuration is quite different between the 2.4.17 and the various 2.4.18 configurations I have tried. I am currently recompiling 2.4.18 with exactly the same configuration as a working 2.4.17 to see if this makes a difference (I doubt it though) Now booted under the new 2.4.18 with the same config as 2.4.17, ans as expected, the problems persist.

I think currently one of the channels is locked open and the bus can't be reset. Last time I experiemented with the USB_RESET comand it just killed it completely. I don't really follow USB developments, it may of improved recently? I think the startup script may attempt a complete shutdown (or at least I remember at least one version doing a complete rmmod). You could try your distro's USB scripts (e.g. Mandrake has a script dedicated to bringing USB up and down, hence I don't load USB stuff in the adsl script).

[speedtouch] Re: problems with getting a connection
Well a basic trouble shooting set of steps goes like: 1. ifconfig ppp0 - check interface has been created and logon succeded 2. ping DNS servers by IP addresss (see /etc/ppp/resolv.conf) 3. ping servers by name (e.g. google, bbc) If 1 fails then you need to check your logs to see why pppd fails If 2 or 3 fails but 1 ok then its probably your ISP's end Alex.

[speedtouch] Re: modem_run and two modems
Mmm, possibly it would make sense. Do you have strace on *BSD (I'm
guessing yes). If you ran that we may see where modem_run is hanging up
on the second modem_run (probably different places in your two failure
modes). An incantation like
strace -e file /usr/local/bin/modem_run -v 1 -d /dev/ugen1 -f
/usr/local/libdata/mgmt.o -m
Should give a log that shows which syscall hangs up. Check your man page
on BSD for strace.

Alex.

Although the user-mode drivers use kernel features such as pppd and usb they in themsleves shouldn't panic the kernel (thats half the point of them being user-mode).

[speedtouch] Location of config data
Having just restarted my adsl link after 15 days of uniterrupted service I came across a problem with the adsl start script. Basically Ihadn't copied the config values into it so it failed to start adsl. This is going to be a problem for packages upgrading as config data will be lost if the script is over-written (which it should be, there may be a bug to fix). I propose /etc/speedtouch to hold the config data which can be included by the /etc/init.d/adsl script. If no one objects loudly then I'll do that in the next few days. Question for the LSB people. If you locally compile and install the speedtouch driver should you put the config in /etc/speedtouch or /usr/local/etc/speedtouch? Question for the BSD people. Do you want the same sort of config setup or can I blithley ignore BSD when I update the Makefiles?

[speedtouch] RPM build checked into CVS
After feedback yesterday (and recovering from the hangover this morning) I've commited the RPM changes to CVS. Could people with RPM based system check the rpm's build for them and are useable. Change summary is: binaries now install in $prefix/sbin instead of bin (LSB complient) make archive and make rpm to make tarballs and rpm's spelling fix in speedtouch.tmpl (CONFIGURE_ARGS) doc-linux now in $prefix/doc/speedtouch (LSB complient) doc-linux make uninstall fixed src/Makefile now quotes VERSION Regards, -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe
[speedtouch] [PATCH] Proper RPM's in the Makefile
I want to make a fully self installing rpm but the first stage is to get
the RPM building in order.
I've committed speedtouch.spec.in into CVS (and removed
speedtouch.spec). Together with the attached patch you should be able to
do a `make rpm` and end up with a source and binary rpm in your
respective build directories. I've not committed this to CVS yet as its
still ugly and I would like any comments/suggestions on how to neaten
the patch. Some notes:
1. The ifdef's for the install is mainly so as to not specify a
user/mode on the install. You should build rpm's as a user (not root)
and rpm takes care of the attributes itself. This explains the uglyness
I want to get rid of in the Makefile and doc-linux Makefile
2. The autoconf script currently doesn't check RPM exists. Its easy to
add but I'm being lazy today but I know what to do :-)
3. I really don't like make dist doing all that CVS stuff or specifying
the version again. We could probably move all that magic into a release
script.
4. I unquoted the VERSION in the speedtouch.tmpl file as I wanted to us
the symbol for building tar files. This is the reason the src/Makefile
has gained all the quotes (as VERSION is just used in printf's). The
other option is to have two symbols, VERSION and VERSION_STRING.
5. I still want to add support for building -static RPM's and post
install scripts to fetch the binaries from Alcatel.
Could I ask people with RPM systems to test this patch and feedback.
Once we have decent user friendly RPM's (and Benoits doctor script?) I
think it could be time for a 1.1 (or 1.0.1 :-)

Hi Folks. When I try any kernel after 2.4.9 on my system, pppoa3 cannot detect the speedtouch modem attached top the system.

[speedtouch] Re: adsl.sh script fails due to wrong PID
On Thu, 2002-02-21 at 23:17, greg matthews wrote: I have made an awful hack to the adsl.sh script so that it uses killall instead of relying on the PID file and it works fine but I wondered if anyone else was aware of this and whether there is a fix? why is the .pid file incorrect? Basically because the PID is generated by the start-stop-daemon script which assumes the pid of the first process is the daemon. You could hack the first fork to suspend itself and wait for the daemon process to end but that would be kinda pointless as you'd waste the memory. I also need to rmmod usb-ohci followed by modprobe usb-ohci before I can relaunch modem_run. Again, I have made a quick and dirty hack to the script to achieve this - is there a better way? Probably valid unless you want to have other USB devices plugged in. I expereimented with trying to reset the USB device in reboot the speedtouch but killing the whole usb sub-system was the only way that worked. GREG apropos nothing: So far I am very pleased with this userland system... I tried (for ages) to get Verrepts driver to work with a number of different linux releases but it always crashed whilst loading the microcode, I dont think it works with old processors.

Wrong mailing list. There are two drivers and this is for the user-mode drivers. You do not need any patched ppp or kernel to use the user-mode drivers. If you want to use our drivers go to http://speedtouch.sf.net and read the docs there. Do not confuse the two drivers otherwise you'll confuse yourself and us! Alex.

I'm guessing you've not read the FAQ. You do not need PPPoATM for the user-mode drivers. You need to follow one set of instructions or the other. Mixing the user-mode driver (which this is the mailing list for) with the kernel-mode instructions/pppd whatever will just cause you pain. Alex.

[speedtouch] Re: A strange speedtouch...
I've had for a period of time another s.t. and it worked very well under linux and windows2k. Intel usb chipset. My new s.t. has a strange behaviour. In /proc/bus/usb/devices there are If# lines referred to the modem with Driver=(none) and modem_run couldn't locate the modem. I'm using Mandrake Linux 8.1 with the drivers installed by Mandrake Control Center, the same drivers that worked with the other modem. Under windows the modem has this behaviour: - all leds green - blink usb led with adsl off - usb led green, adsl yellow - all off - for a moment usb led red - all off. and then the driver hangs. I have no idea why the windows driver hangs but the light sequence looks as though you are not syncing to the far end (I had this when my provider disconnected me for some reason).
